A search for AppleLanguages in Apple's Documentation found - among others - this ( Application Kit Release Notes ( 10.3 and earlier ):

Anyone using the value of this default directly must be prepared to accept any of these forms. Direct use of the default is discouraged; in most cases, NSBundle or CFBundle APIs should suffice. See the CFBundle documentation for more details on languages, locales, and localizations.

I don't think this will help Jeff at all (other than to emphasise that direct use of this default is discouraged), since NS/CFBundle is what implements the default behaviour, and AFAIK neither of them have routines to set the localization (as, indeed, you'd expect, since it's very unusual for applications to need to do this kind of thing).



My attention of this doc was about the values "en" versus/instead of "English", ...etc. Didn't understand if "English" were still supported or not.
For the rest, I wholly support your sound and functional approach (sound because functional : runKiosk(select(language)).
Only but I wonder and fear which target the "language selector program" will act upon : the entire system - like when we have to log out ?
Will work and see.



Cheers,

Francis.
